Karl Mahrenholz: the Mantis is out
Perhaps this was precipitated by news of Annette_15 being 'crippled' coming to the Outer Table - she was said to have 200k, and Karl, with his 80k said, "That's crippled? I'm screwed then."
This was before this hand was dealt - Oyvind Riisem raising in middle position and being called (22k) by small blind Gus Hansen and big blind Mahrenholz.
Flop: Hansen checked, and the Mantis shoved - for 52k. Riisem thought for a while before throwing in the call, while Hansen bowed out of the hand.
Mahrenholz showed:
Riisem showed:
Turn: The audience and players were, this time, deathly silent
River: And Karl headed out of the ropes, showing very little of the frustration he must have felt at seeing the turn card crash him out in 15th.

Oim Arrrl In!!!
Pat Scanlon has an unusual yet effective style. In the last two days he has pretty much gone all in or folded. Its been working for him and he is known amongst the big name pros as 'the all in guy' - earlier I spotted Annie Duke and Erick Lindgren saying the allin guy was doing well.
In a recent pot against Gus Hansen he, you guessed it, went all in. Suddenly from around the rail a small army of Irish Senior Citizens (including Bob Willis from yesterday) popped up on chairs behind the crowds and started cheering him on.
"Thats the way to do it Pat" on said.
If any of you have played in Ireland, which is the best place for poker outside of Vegas, you'll agree that that is the way they do it over there.

Tran the Man
Annette raised it up to 23k, Durkee called, Tran pushed all-in for what appeared to be around 150k, Annette announced all-in behind him and Durkee folded.
Annette =
Tran =
Flop =
Being the enigmatic, energetic character that he is, I fully expected Tran to leap into the air in delight, but he was surprisingly subdued. Perhaps he eared the worst...

James Keys moved in preflop over the top of Pat Scanlon, who called him with . Keys showed .
Flop:
Turn: All through this process, the Keys Fan Club who are by far the most vocal group around the table were shouting random harmless cards: "Jack of diamonds! Deuce! Deuce!"
River:
And he gets a big round of applause and a more playable 240k stack.

Three players (Riisem, Lechich and Tabatabai) see a flop of . Riisem checks, Tino Lechich bets 35k. Tabatabai lets one go, and when it gets round to Riisem, who seems to have been fairly quiet today so far, he thought for a while and pushed forward one of his three towers of chips (the red one - must have been 250k+). Pass from Lechich.
